Greenland Mines Ltd (NASDAQ: GRML) announced Friday that its board of directors has adopted a limited-duration stockholder rights plan, effective July 22, 2026, aimed at protecting stockholders from coercive takeover tactics and ensuring they receive full and fair value in connection with any proposal to acquire the company or obtain control. The rights plan will remain in effect for one year unless redeemed, exchanged or otherwise terminated earlier.
Under the plan, rights generally become exercisable if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the company's outstanding common shares, with certain existing holders grandfathered under specified conditions. Greenland Mines said the plan is intended to provide the board with time to evaluate acquisition proposals and does not prevent it from considering or accepting offers determined to be in the best interests of stockholders.

The adoption of this rights plan signals that Greenland Mines may be a potential takeover target, and the board is taking proactive steps to ensure any acquisition process is orderly and maximizes shareholder value. This move is particularly significant given the company's strategic assets, including its mining operations in Greenland focused on rare earth materials and precious metals, as well as its biotech division developing treatments for ALS. The company's strategy centers on building a multi-asset platform with exposure to rare earth magnet materials and advancing its broader North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor vision.
Greenland Mines Ltd is a Nasdaq-listed company with two operating divisions: Mining, focused on the exploration and development of the Skaergaard Project in southeast Greenland and, subject to closing of the previously announced transaction, the Sarfartoq neodymium-praseodymium (Nd-Pr) rare earths project in southwest Greenland; and Biotech, including Klotho's KLTO-202 primary indication for ALS. The company's strategy is centered on building a multi-asset platform with exposure to rare earth magnet materials, precious metals and selected midstream processing opportunities, while advancing its broader North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor vision linking Greenland resources with allied downstream jurisdictions and industrial infrastructure.
